**Scroll to minute 40:10--43:15 for Jorritsma recommendation** https://www.youtube.com/live/NifDMDHttqY
Republican Commissioner Jordan Jorritsma (District 2) has recently recommended former Democrat Commissioner Christian Kleinjans, for the Community *Mental Health* Board. Jorritsma beat Kleinjans in November of 2024 for the District 2 Commission seat, largely having to do with the unpopularity of the attached remarks by Kleinjans in the video and article below.
****We are wondering why a *REPUBLICAN* Commissioner would recommend his Democrat opponent for a place on the Community *Mental Health* Board in light of these remarks?
Additional sources are below, including Democrat Kleinjans controversial remarks re: Latino and African Americans. **A vote will be taken this coming Tuesday, March 25, 2025 whether or not to appoint Chris Kleinjans to CMH**
(Scroll to the bottom of this page to see of list of Commissioner's email addresses so you can urge them to vote for a better choice other than Kleinjans for the Community Mental Health Board.)

Email Addresses of Ottawa County Commissioners
Again, we have NO idea why Commissioner Jorritsma would recommend Kleinjans for Community Mental Health. *However, If you don’t feel that someone with Kleinjans' beliefs should not serve on Community Mental Health, please reach out to your Commissioners and let them know.
